Author's Notes: Yay another chapter or better still the part B ;) i was shocked at how big the preformance was so i had to split it. just a quick thanks to trent for proof reading this chapter. as my spelling etc seems to have gone down hill...

thanks to my reviewers:

Secret: I have put the singing in italics and bold so that it will not be so hard to read. and i got a friend to proof read for me...so if there are any typos blame trent ;)

Indiapyro: You are also a person of many words ;) writen more as requested

Jenalyn: yay more reviewing :) i am really glad you like the characters :) and that you understood what i was trying to say in PONR i was worried about that, no i hear gerry's accent i think it adds to the sexyness in his voice when he sings :):)

Maska: When i look at it, it does look like an ending, but i wanted to preform the opera and just tie off some strings and tell you where i want the characters to end. good luck on your exam, im sure you'll do fine ;)

Disclaimer: i dont own phantom of the opera...bumma eh?

They had been standing on the trap door. They dropped through, and landed on the mat.

Above them Jenny could hear the 'crash of the chandelier' and cast's screams and running. They had to hurry to get back up stairs and back in position for the next scene. Jason took Jenny's hand and she lifted her skirt in one hand and they ran up the stairs. Back in the wings Jenny took the rose out of her hair and let it out. Then Jason took her hand and went back on stage singing his line, and dragging her.

Down once more
To the dungeon
Of my black despair!
Down we plunge
To the prison
Of my mind!
Down that path
Into darkness
Deep as hell!

Turning to her and giving her a rough shake: Jason continued

Why, you ask,
Was I bound and chained
In this cold, and dismal place?
Not for any
Mortal sin, but the
Wickedness of
My abhorrent face!

Then they were back off stage watching Raoul seek Madame Giry out to help him get Christine back. Then there was a scene change, now set up for the lair. Jason grinned cheekily and wordlessly picked Jenny up and slung her over his shoulder, Jenny knew he enjoyed throwing her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, and then walked back on stage carrying her singing his next line.

Hounded out by everyone
Met with hatred everywhere

Putting her down in front of the Manakin that looked so much like Jenny, she privately thought that was freaky, that was in the wedding dress, Holding her close to him.


No kind words from anyone
No compassion anywhere!

Speaking to her and giving her a shake.

Christine. Why, why . . .?

Now this was the fastest change in the whole show. Stepping off stage, just in the wings and taking off the wrap around skirt and stepping in to a second identical wedding dress, to the one being taken off the manikin right now. Then pulling it over her corset and securing the back. While the mob are on stage and Raoul is getting lost on his way down to the lair. Jenny now stepped back on stage and sang her line, walking towards Jason who was standing near the now naked manikin:

Have you gorged yourself at last
in your lust for blood?
Am I now to be prey
to your lust for flesh?

She now stood before him as he sang his reply:

That fate, which condemns me to wallow in blood,
has also denied me the joys of the flesh . . .

He reached out to touch her face and she turned away from his hand.


This face, the infection which poisons our love . . .
This face, which earned a mother's fear and loathing
a mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing

Taking the veil he put it roughly on her wild hair which curled down her back, and turned her towards him.


Pity comes too late
Turn around and face your fate
an eternity of THIS before your eyes

On 'THIS' he gestured to the deformed side of his face, emphasising his point. He also took the stage engagement ring and handed it to Jenny closing her fingers around it.

Jenny took off the veil and sang to him:

This haunted face holds no horror for me now...
It's in your soul that the true distortion lies...

Raoul staggered on to the stage behind the bars where Jason, or The Phantom, sees him.


Wait! I think, my dear, we have a guest
Sir...

Jenny interrupted "Raoul" when she saw him from behind the gate. Jason continued as if she said nothing.

...This is indeed an unparalleled delight
I had rather hoped that you would come

He put his arm around Christine/ Jenny and pulled her close.

And now my wish comes true!
You have truly made my night!

Jenny struggled and pushed to get away

"Let me go"As Raoul started pleading for her life:

Free her!
Do what you like, only free her
Have you no pity?

Phantom:
Your lover makes a passionate plea.

Jenny had tears in hey eyes like she had given up before speaking

"Please, Raoul it's useless"

Raoul:
I love her!
Does that mean nothing?
I love her!
Show some compassion!

Phantom:
The world showed no compassion to me!

Raoul:
Christine...
Christine...
Let me see her...

Pushing the leaver to bring the gate up, Jason sang and turned to walk towards Jay as Raoul.


Phantom:
Be my guest, sir...
Monsieur, I bid you welcome!
Did you think that I would harm her?
Why would I make her pay
for the sins which are yours?

He put a lasso overJay's head then began to tie him to the gate, mocking him with his next line.

Phantom:
Order your fine horses now!
Rise up your hand to the level of your eyes!
Nothing can save you now... except for Christine!

He turned and stalked back across the stage to where Jenny was standing, crying, looking for a way to get over to Raoul. Jason picked up another Lasso then going back over to Jay and putting it around his neck, hooking it above his head then stepping away, so when he pulled the rope it chocked Raoul.


(To Christine)
Start a new life with me!
Buy his freedom with your love!
Refuse me, and you send your lover to his death!
This is the choice!
This is the point of no return!

He gave the rope a fake tug to make his point. Or position rather. Looking as Jenny sang the next time.

Christine:
the tears I might have shed for your dark fate,
grow cold and turn to tears of hate!

Now came the best bit in the song, where they harmonise against one another which creates a powerful and emotional song, each singing with their hearts and holding nothing back.

Raoul:
Christine, forgive me, please forgive me.
I did it all
for you, and all for
nothing!

Christine:
Farewell, my fallen idol and false friend
We had such hopes, and now those hopes are shattered...

Phantom:
Too late for turning back, Too late for prayers and useless pity!

Raoul:
Say you love him, and my life is over!

Phantom:
All hope of cries of help,
No point in fighting!
For either way you choose, you cannot win!

Raoul:
Either way you choose, he has to win...

Phantom:
So do you end your days with me?
Or do you send him to his grave? (Pulls the rope)

Raoul:
Why make her lie to you to save me?

Phantom:
Past the point of no return...

Christine:
Angel of Music . . .

Raoul:
For pity's sake, Christine say no!

Christine:
Who deserved this?

Phantom:
The final threshold...

Raoul:
Don't throw your life away for my sake!

Phantom:
His life is now the prize which you must earn!

Christine:
Why do you curse mercy?

Raoul:
I fought so hard to free you...

Christine:
Angel of Music...

Phantom:
You've passed the point of no return!

Chrstine:
...you deceived me!
Spoken I gave you my mind

Phantom spoken:
You try my patience,
now, make your choice!

Jason pulled on the rope. Raoul/Jay chocked and gasped at the extra pull on the rope 'cutting off his air supply'. Jenny looked over clearly at Raoul and whispered I love you in to the microphone on her top, so that the audience could hear it. Then slowly stepped forward towards Jason singing:

Christine:
Pitiful creature of darkness,
what kind of life have you known?
God give me courage to show you,

She put the engagement ring on her finger.

You are not alone!

Then she stood on her toes and kissed Jason or the Phantom. She always enjoyed this bit, in rehearsals they often got told to stop, getting a little carried away.

Once she pulled back she sees Jason crying and put her hand up on his deformed face, she had tears streaking down her face. Jenny could hear the mob chanting as though they were getting closer. Jason then spoke:

"Take her, forget me, forget all of this . . ." He staggered away from them

"Leave me alone - forget all you've seen . . . Go now - don't let them find you! Take the boat, swear to me, never to tell, the secret you know, of the angel in hell!"

Jenny ran across the stage to free Jay/ Raoul from the ropes and hugged him tightly like she never wanted to let him go. Before Jason/ The phantom sang:

Go now - GO NOW and leave me!

Then a spot light comes up on the phantom with the music box, and him singing softly.

Masquerade
Paper faces on parade . . .
Masquerade
Hide your face so the world will never find you . . .

Jenny enters and Jason/ The phantom sings to her


Christine, I love you...

Walking forward Jenny takes the ring off her finger, handing it to The phantom who closes his fist around it, then bent down and kissed his deformed forehead before walking off stage to Raoul, and singing together:Christine:

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime

Raoul:
Say the word and I will follow you...

Both:
Share each day with me, each night, each morning...

Jason takes centre stage staring after Christine/ Jenny and Raoul/ Jay.

He was surprised that he even thought it. But he was reminded of Jenny's predicament. Mike following and loving her like the Phantom followed Christine. But Jenny had chosen him. She had been ready to save his life and go back to Australia and be married to Mike and unhappy, all for him. Snapping out of his thoughts he sang his line:


Phantom:
You alone, can make my song take flight.

Singing louder:


It's over now, the music of the night!

He then disappeared. The end scenes came together beautifully and once the curtains had closed to get ready for the curtain call, everyone in the audience was on there feet clapping for all they were worth.

The cast was crowed on stage with Jenny, Jay, Jason, Anita, Brittany, Terry, Barry, Daniel and Brett all the main characters were out front. They all took a bow then Jenny, Jason and Jay stepped forward for their own bow. If it was possible the applause got louder.

It got thirteen standing ovations before the curtain closed. Jenny was instantly swept up in to Jason arms as he swung her around. Kissing her and telling her how fantastically she preformed.

All Jenny could do was beam.
